Crossroads Blog Tour Day 4: Patrice Lyle

Bio: Patrice Lyle has never met a ghost story she didn’t like. She’s been fascinated with the paranormal since childhood. She attributes this fascination to having heard old family stories of ghostly wreaths, ESP, and money hidden in the lining of antique purses. She grew up on the Oregon Coast and has a Master’s Degree in Writing Popular Fiction. Now she lives with her husband and three cats near Orlando, where she’s working on the next Poison Ivy novel and trolling the area for ghostly happenings.

You’re trapped in an elevator with your favorite (actor/character/ author) and outside there is a horde of zombies, some weird animal is pounding on the top of the elevator…what happens next and who are you with?
I’m trapped with Brad Pitt from his Troy days. He’d bust open the top of the elevator and rush me to safety.

What’s your favorite horror film or book? 
‘The Shining’ movie. It’s seriously so scary! Plus my husband and I visited the Stanley Inn in Estes Park. That place was creepy!

Crossroads Blog Tour Day 6: Author Patrice Lyle

Patrice Lyle believes in writing what you love. Since the age of ten, she’s been doing just that. Her father’s policeman tales sparked her love of mysteries. Stories of her great grandmother’s ESP sparked her love of the paranormal. And a trip to a drug store in England, where she bought a homeopathic remedy for a sore throat, sparked her love of natural health. She has a BA in Business, an MA in Writing Popular Fiction, and PhD in Holistic Nutrition; and she’s a Certified Traditional Naturopath. Now she lives with her husband and three cats near Memphis, where she’s working on her next novel and trolling the area for ghostly happenings. 

What do you love most about your character Morgan in Lethally Blonde?
I love how fun Morgan is. She’s a fashion loving demon chick who loves pink and makeup plus she knows how to use a compact mirror to kill an evil demon. Morgan is certainly not the most popular demon at Pitchfork Prep, but as Kirkus Reviews said in their 2012 review, “…Morgan is so appealing that readers can’t stop turning pages to find out what she’ll do next. Like cotton candy, this is fun even if it isn’t filling.” I absolutely loved writing Morgan’s character because she’s so much fun, but don’t be fooled… she’s lethal and her mission is critical!

Best Halloween memory?
My favorite Halloween was in 1977, the year the original Star Wars came out. I was six year old and Star Wars was the first movie I ever saw in a theatre. I’ll never forget the moment when Luke Skywalker rescued Princess Leia from the Storm Troopers by swinging on the rope. That was the most awesome thing I’d ever seen and, of course, I wanted to be Princess Leia for Halloween. So my mom made me a white dress and my hair in two side buns. I loved my outfit and felt totally cool!
